Why UIQ3’s Emulator Creates Two Windows?
Development January 14th. 2007, 6:08pmI have been playing UIQ3 SDK since last week. There is an odd thing about the emulator. It creates two windows. One window is the main emulator’s window, which simulates the phone. The other one is small window that seems doing nothing (see screenshot below). Sorry, if you have never used UIQ3 SDK; you may not know what I am talking about.
This window contains nothing. There is no additional menu. It has no buttons or whatsoever. It cannot be resized. For me, it looks like stupid window.
Anyone knows the purpose of this small window? It must be created for a good reason.

I believe it’s so you can close the emulator – the main screen doesn’t have the minimize, maximize close options.
It’s a hangover from the old days I think. The techview emulator used to be the same IIRC.

@Jo: Thanks for the explanation. It’s a little bit odd because the close and minimize button can be put in the main window. At least, in S60 SDK doesn’t behave like this…
Well, it’s not a big deal.
